Citalopram
Citalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. It increases serotonin concentration in the synaptic cleft by inhibiting the serotonin transporter. The substance is characterized by a favorable side effect profile but carries risks such as serotonin syndrome in cases of overdose or combination with other serotonergic substances. The effect usually takes time to set in, which is relevant for clinical application.
